    Do you check the futures market after hours?

    It rises and it falls, only to open flat the next day. Unecessary stress or somehow useful? (P.S. This is not directed towards futures traders, for obvious reasons)

    Keeping Car vs Selling it to Invest?

    For investors like us, everything is different... Others might see my car, which is completely paid off, as a $0 monthly bill. I see it as a depreciating asset which could be put to work instead of just sitting! In other words, wouldn't I be better off; Selling my car Investing that money @...

    Dell XPS 13, anyone? And Mac vs Windows...

    You know, I value portability more than anything else. I can always make a screen bigger (connect it to a large monitor), but you can't make a big screen small.

    Dell XPS 13, anyone? And Mac vs Windows...

    Oh I had no idea Dell also offered refurbished ones! I would have to wait, however, since I really want the new Kirby Lake i5 due to the lower power consumption and larger battery :/

    Dell XPS 13, anyone? And Mac vs Windows...

    That's my other option, but I REALLY dislike their glossy screen. It's also pretty long in the tooth... I could always wait and get the Air once it gets upgraded in June... but that's a LONG time to wait :P How many hours of trading do you get on your battery? Is it a i5 or i7 Air? The problem...

    Hilarious, now higher rates are positive for stocks ??

    Here is the thing, the market can stay irrational far longer than it can become rational (or long enough to put you out of commission...)

    Dell XPS 13, anyone? And Mac vs Windows...

    I am looking to replace my MacBook Pro, primarily because I travel a lot and that thing is heavy at four and a half pounds. I am looking at the XPS 13 which seems to have ridiculous battery life and it's fairly lightweight. If anyone has it can you comment on the battery life when trading and...

    Global Macro Trading Journal

    Brazil has many, many problems. This may just be the catalyst for their market to overturn, especially since they have been performing so well this year. Trump doesn't help their situation either, however overblown this Trump Trade may be. Just .02 here.

    Perhaps wait another couple of days, MXN government not stepping in just yet. But I agree, incredibly oversold.

    Can you actually be short on the market?

    As a quick offshoot question (about your opinion, not necessarily about your algo), what do you think of Gold right now? Everyone and their mother seems to be dumping it right now due to a myriad of factors. Which is interesting, as even before the election, Gold seemed to be loosing its shine...

    Hedge for the day.

    If you have any equity hedge ideas for the day, feel free to post them here. Just for fun. 11/10 EDZ (Emerging Markets Bear) - If US markets go down, overseas will go down since it seems to be tracking fairly well. If US markets go up, it's because Trump trade agreements are not good for...

    Can you actually be short on the market?

    It makes complete sense to bet against the market right now. A rally from "nowhere", completely uncertain economic direction, and some sectors glowing red hot (that biotech and financial rally, my oh my). At the same time, why would you short anything? The market seems to be rather volatile and...

    How to analyze my portfolio over time?

    Because my broker gives me a lot of that info, I'm not sure I need some of those. BUT, perfromance vs benchmark would be amazing as that's something my partners are always looking for (plotted on a nice pretty graph as opposed to just numbers)

    How to analyze my portfolio over time?

    Hmm not bad! I entered just this month's performance to test it out and although pretty basic, it does a decent job at making pretty charts. AND, it indeed gives me the sharpe ratio for the month (7.41). Pretty Cool.
